The didn't have as good sales as your thinking. That is why you don't see them anymore. The sports car market is odd. It ebbs and tides. We're back on an up swing but not 5 years ago we were on a down swing. Take the fbodies.. Pre 99 they were losing money with the cars.. Thats how supressed the market was. That turned around in 2000 and later. Now you can't tell me theres that much difference between a 99 and a 98(they both have the same styling and the ls1 engine). Same thing for the supra.. It was ok sales, but not really comparable to the market requirements.
The rx-7 may or may not have met requirements though and we dont get the silvia. The wenkel engines have a long history of being poor in terms of emissions. It took alot to get them cleaned up for the rx-8. That being said this 2006 rx-7 is supposed to basically be a 2 door rx-8 from all ive heard.
